THE YOUNG FAMILY OF SCOTLAND By E. J. T. C.
Sir Peter's first wife, Elizabeth Gib, died at Leith 10th May 1595, and on 6th M !. 1596, he married a second time, Dame Janet Murry, Lady Torphichen, widow of the t .: temporal lord of that title, and daughter of Murry of Polmaise. She died in November , that year. By Marjory Mavine, daughter of Mavine of Sandfurde, his third wife, he had ! Euphemia, born 20th April 1601, married Sir David Ogilvy of Clova. 2. Elizabeth, born 11. February 1603. 3. Nicola, born 5th July 1604, married David Boswell of Balmuto. 4. Arlk : born 18th December 1608, married John Livingston, younger of Dunipace.
Sir Peter Young outlived his pupil, James VI, and dying at his house of Easter S ..... on the 7th January 1628, was buried at the parish church of St. Vigeans, where his m . ment is still extant. Sir Peter was succeeded by his eldest son, Sir James Young, Ku - who had a grant of land in Ireland. He married first, Isobel Arbuthnot, a daughter of 1) .. Arbuthnot of Findourie, by whom he had two sons; 1. Charles, who died young; 2. l' .. who succeeded him in his estates in Scotland: and a daughter, Margaret, married to Fi .. Duguid of Auchinhuif. Sir James married secondly, Jean Stewart, by whom he h. : daughter, Ann, married to George Seaton, eldest son of William Seaton of Mynnoris. . \ deenshire. Dame Jean Steward married for her second husband Frederic Lvon of Brigton
Several families of the name Young in the north of Ireland deseent from Sir James } and this may be, but it is certain that they are not descended from the Youngs of Aul .: as they also claim to be. They can only be a collateral branch.
Peter Young of Seaton married Isobel Ochterlonv, a daughter of Ochterlony of W. Seaton, and had, 1. Robert, who succeeded him; 2. Margaret, married in 1659 to Sir i Forbes of Craigievar, baronet. Her tocher was 8,000 pounds Scots. 3. A daughter, mv to Guthrie of Westhall, from whom were descended Major John Guthrie and his bi and the Guthries of Craigie. Peter Young sold Easter Scaton and other lands, at i chased part of Auldbar in 1670. Robert Young married Anna Graham, daughter of s. liam Graham of Claverhouse, by whom he had, 1. David, his heir. 2. Anne, married to 1 Barclay of younger of Balmakewan. 3. Cecilia, married to George Leith of Overhall. : abeth ( married to John Turnbull, younger of Strickathrow; ) and perhaps others. Young had for his tutor the celebrated Thomas Ruddiman, and married Marjory. daughter of Fothringham of Powrie, by whom he had, 1. Robert his heir; and at h. other son. 2. Anna, married to Robert Ochterlony and apparenth. other daughters. succeeded his father in 1743, and sold Antdbar to a relative, William Chalmers of !
head. Robert Young and his brothers and sisters, execpt Anna, are said to have died without issue or moved to distant parts. She was served heir to her grandfather, Robert. He married Mary Roberta Skinner, and by her had, I. Robert; 2. Alexander, who died unwed; and daughters.
In the Annual Register for 1759 is related. at page 122, an interesting anecdote of a Cap- tain Ochterlony who was killed at the seige of Quebec in that year. The Ochterlonies were descended from Prince Rupert, thus: Charles I had a sister married to the Elector Palatine of Bohemia. Prince Rupert, their son, had by Mrs. Hughes, a daughter Mary Ruperta. Ruperta married Brig .- Gen. Lord Hare; and their daughter, Henrietta Hare, who was maid of honor to the princess of Orange, and cousin to the duchess of Norfolk, married David Skinner, Esq .; Mary Ruperta, their eldest daughter born 24th July 1767, married John Ochterlony, who was born January 1736. Their children were Henrietta, Anne, Elizabeth, and Margaret.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN (Used by permission of Nora Field, Seneca, S. C.)
Our attention has been recently called to an error made in the statement concerning the first marriage of William Anderson, son of John and Jane Anderson of Augusta County, Vir- ginia.
William Anderson's first marriage has been given as Marv Craig by some who have applied for membership to the National Society, D. A. R., on his Revolutionary War Record.
We know this information given to the Society, D. A. R. to be positively at variance with the facts as given to us by our Mother, Marv Harriett ( Nimmons) Bowie and also by our uncles, William E. Nimmons and James M. Nimmons and were facts which were told and repeatedly told by them. ( All deceascd ).
We remember the facts told as follows:
Jolin Isaac Anderson was born in Virginia, was the son of William Anderson and his wife, Nancy. Nancy died in Virginia leaving a small child, John Isaac. Nancy Anderson's maiden name was Nancy Robins and that she was a niece of Asley Field, who was the wife of Jeremiah Field, who soon after the Revolutionary War settled on Big Eastatoe Creek, Pendleton District, S. C. William Anderson married a second time. Little was known about his second marriage and children by this union. And that William Anderson had two brothers, Colonel Robert and James Anderson who came from Virginia and settled in Pendleton Dis- trict, South Carolina. All three brothers were officers in the Revolutionary War.
When Pendleon District was divided and formed into counties, one was named Anderson in honor of Col. Robert Anderson.
John Isaac Anderson made many trips to South Carolina, visiting his relatives-the An- dersons and the Jeremiah Field family. During one of his visits he inet and fell in love with a little red-haired Dutch girl, mary "Polly" Lay, daughter of Charles Lay and his wife, Nancy Lav, who came from Virginia to South Carolina. Charles Lay settled on little Eastatoe Creek; removed and settled on Big Eastatoe Creek, Pendleton District, South Carolina. Nancy Lay's maiden name was: Nancy Freeman.
John Isaac Anderson prolonged his stay so that he could see more of "Polly." He report- edly said: "No, he wasn't going to marry the little red-haired girl." On his way home he thought of nothing but the beautiful Dutch maiden. He was in the state of Tennessee when he came to a halt-reigning his horse a quick turn, he hastened back to the Big Eastatoe Valley to see "Polly," and asked her to marry him.
After they married they set up housekeeping in Big Eastatoe Valley and were neighbors of Jeremiah and "Asly" Field. Aslv's maiden name was "Asly" Robins.
William Anderson came from Kentucky to South Carolina in his old age and lived his list days with his son, John Isaac of Big Eastatoe, Pendleton District, South Carolina. Wil- ham died, in 1847, a short time before our mother, Marv Harriett ( Nimmons) Bowie was horn, in 1848. William Anderson was buried on a high peak, at the foot of the mountain range overlooking the upper Big Eastatoe Valley.
We were born and reared at the old homestead and reared our families here. We are owners and reside on a part of the large state of John Isaae Anderson, who was our great grandfather.
1.
William Anderson married the third time to Naney Lay, widow of Charles Lay, of Cheo- hee Valley, Pendleton District, South Carolina.
William Anderson and Nancy both died in 1847, very old people. They are buried on a high knoll overlooking the upper Big Eastatoe Valley.
